Stick: Wheat Flour Enriched

Wheat flour enriched is made from wheat grains that have been milled into a fine powder. Enrichment adds back certain vitamins and iron that are lost during the milling process, including thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid, and iron.

Enriched wheat flour is a staple ingredient in many baked goods, serving as the primary structural component. It is commonly found in breads, pasta, cookies, cakes, and pastries, providing the base for a wide variety of food products.

Enriched wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The added nutrients contribute to meeting daily dietary recommendations for these vitamins and minerals. JECFA has evaluated wheat flour and found it acceptable for consumption. No significant health concerns are associated with the typical consumption of enriched wheat flour.
